79-33 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 79-33 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, currently owned by Glendale Homes LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a pronounced cluster of electrical problems in August 2023, with multiple power outage incidents and inadequate lighting in public areas leading to HPD violations.

The building also faced centralized heating and hot water issues during the same period, with violations confirmed by HPD inspections. More recently, in April 2024, a bedbug reporting requirement violation was noted, though subsequent reports in 2025 indicated no infested units. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2023 passing, though previous inspections showed a pattern of rodent activity between 2018 and 2021, including rat sightings in June 2023.

Multiple violations were issued in August 2023 regarding inadequate electrical service to fixtures in hallways across all stories, and there remains an active DOB violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. The building has also experienced various other maintenance issues, including missing signage violations in August 2023. While some violations have been resolved and inspections passed, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control, though the most recent inspections indicate some improvements in overall conditions.
